Millions of fish!

iteration2 · March 2017

For the past couple weeks, the safe shallows has accumulated obscenely large schools of fish. Like, in the tens of thousands (or potentially millions) range, and their numbers seem to be growing over time and encroaching on my base. It's pretty much a solid wall of fish (that whittles down my seamoth if I try to pass through it). Trying to get through the safe shallows results in a framerate drop to one frame every few seconds.

I'm assuming this is a bug. Has anyone run into it and been able to solve it?

Huh? Are you deleting any of your files or cache files?

Also - Screenshots? XD

Well, food won't be a problem...

Definitely would love screenshots of this.

Skope · March 2017

I most definitely want to see this.

It sounds like before the fish respawned, when we had to use the console to inject millions of shoals into the game.

Happens to me and even some other YouTubers. Just a glitch of the fish shoals duplicating/respawning over and over.

I have never seen it happen with rabbit rays, awesome!

It's like looking at an aquatic version of Hitchcock's "The Birds".

I started building a new base of operations today in the Inactive Lava Zone, which has become much more hospitable than the safe shallows.

Good lord, it's like when they released the locusts on Egypt.

How does one delete the cache?

Now that's a lot of fish.

Does the Seamoth look a little freaked out to anyone else?

Why am I getting the vibe you spawned those in?

How do you know? And why should we trust you?

CaptainFearless · March 2017

There is videos and proof of it. Even Mobius had the glitch happen in his S1 of his Subnautica series

If I were going to spawn in so many fish that the game is almost completely unplayable while in their vicinity, I'd have done it in some unused corner of the map, not right next to my base.

Will cleaning the cache get rid of them without seriously altering anything else that's important?

It's true. While watching the BBC series Planet Earth on my computer, the one scene my video renderer simply couldn't handle was the locust swarm. That swarms of things are hell on video cards is a universal truth, and I can't even imagine how slow the computers in ancient Egypt must have been trying to render all those locusts.

When one has 6000 MBs of slaves to do the calculations, it's a breeze.

Clear CellsCache, that will reset resources not stored by the player (except floating lockers, it will unfortunately nuke those).

Millions of fish!
